Viewing the display on a
television
The S-Video out jack on your notebook lets you view your
notebook display on a television screen using a standard
S-Video cable.
To view your notebook display on a television:
1 With your notebook off, connect one end of a standard
S-Video cable to the S-Video out jack on your
notebook.
2 Connect the other end of the cable to the Video in jack
on your television or VCR.
3 Turn on the television or VCR.
4 Start your notebook.
Adjusting the television display settings
You may need to modify the television settings to match the
television you are connecting to.
To adjust the display properties on a television:
1 Click (Start), All Programs, Accessories, then click
Windows Mobility Center. The Windows Mobility
Center window opens.
Important
To turn on external video by default, connect the television (or other
external video device) before starting your notebook.
Important
Audio is not transmitted through an S-Video out jack. Use the built-in
speakers or a set of headphones or external powered speakers, or connect your
notebook to a stereo system using the headphone jack to hear sound while
playing a DVD. DVD playback to a VCR will be scrambled by copyright protection
software.
